This was taken after this photo.

I kept on snapping photos afterward and this is a lovely photo in my opinion.

This was the first crocus visible in our garden, but still very small and shy.

From the visit in our Schrebergarten this weekend.

This sign has been up for a while (as a joke) but the "Goat 4 Sale" was a new addition yesterday. :)

this litle coon comes everynight - he prefers peanuts :-)

This one looked almost too smart and fresh to photo, but C5 numbers have dwindled quite rapidly; around here at least. This is just the 2.0/110 version of the HDi, which has perhaps helped it survive compared with the 2.2.

This piece started with the vintage brass wings, a WWII Technical Observer Military Grade lapel plaque-to be exact. The quality on these has to be seen to be believed, heavy and apparently cast rather than stamped. They seemed perfect with the very vintage clockworks which has several parts that can be gently manuevered. This handsome assemblage measures roughly 3" x3" and features a vintage #8 stamped tag that I have applied a patina to as a dangle. Clear-coated copper rolo chain is 18"long and fastens with a safety lobster clasp.This piece was selected to be in a steampunk jewelry book entitled Steampunk-Style Jewelry: A Maker's Collection of Victorian, Fantasy, and Mechanical Designs compiled by Jean Campbell and it the book cover. The book is available in January 2010 through Amazon.

This photo was taken by Lou Manna and shows the entire enormous Paint-by-Number "kit" I created for myself. The palette of Benjamin Moore paint chips, the quarts that I numbered, and the pair of vintage Paint-by-Number paintings that I used as a visual source.

Once a year is enough. Mind you that's once more than hearing Mistletoe & Wine.

This is the view from the edge of the yard on my grandparent's farm.

This is a Western Star high-rail flatbed equipped with a grappler, picking up railroad ties.

This woman sang in Spanish. I didn't understand the words but when our eyes met we both welled up with tears. A song sung from the heart needs no translation.

This is a VERY small Christmas Tree in London's Victoria train station. Did they run out of money? Even the lights are powered by people on as bicycle (there were people on a bike I did not want to hang around to photograph an empty bike).

A collection pf photographs of the 2019 Christmas lights in central London. Locations visited / photographed.. Oxford Street, Regent Street, Carnaby Street, Brewer Street, Chinatown, Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden.

Photographed on 23 December 2019, weather was dry.

This is a sheet of foam insulation board I had lying around. It's very stiff but very light. I traced the dome and cut to size, then cut an opening inside that is wider than the foam one, since the insulation board will not stretch.

This little geranium bronze was hanging around in a brightly lit yellow world, in a small flower bed at the side of one of the platforms of the Circumvesuviana train station in Sorrento. It was late in the afternoon and the sun was low, throwing its light onto this shrub where the butterfly was perched. Apart from a crop & shrink, this is straight from the camera.

This is Boeing serial number 62679, first flown on 25 October 2017 and delivered to Alaska Airlines new at the end of that month.

This spot will look so much better once those ugly real estate signs come down.

This postcard was printed in Germany in the early 20th century. It was sent in 1907 to Mr. E. Lankes at 459 Madison Street in Buffalo, NY. and signed "Louise." My grandfather's brother, Edward Lankes married Louise Hornung in 1917.

This storm over Logan County, Colorado was weakening very quickly, but still able to generate quite a bit of lightning.

This beauty enjoys her nicotine past the veil.

This 1974 Volvo Ailsa B55-10/Alexander is owned by a local preservation group. On 28 August 2022 it paid a visit to the Transport Museum at Wythall to be viewed with the many other West Midlands PTE vehicles resident at the site.

This unusual pavilion features two large, covered dining areas with fireplaces, surrounded by log and chink walls.

This cute little budget outfit is modeled here by Wedding Day Midge #9606 (also included in #9852 Wedding Day Midge Gift Set) from 1990.

The outfit #2740 contains a simple halter top and skirt, the shoes are borrowed from a shoe pack #1939 from 1988. Depending on the packaging this outfit is marked 1989 or 1990.

The silhouette card with the children at the table was a gift from Madai.

when you line up the legs with the printing on hips you notice something.

naughty lego.

This week, #mypubliclandsroadtrip explores BLM Utah! First stop – an 8-mile round trip hike along ancestral puebloan ruins in southern Utah’s spectacular Cedar Mesa.

At the Monticello Field Office, we met BLM-Utah archaeologist guide Cameron Cox for a behind-the-scenes trip through the South Fork of Mule Canyon – located halfway between Blanding and Natural Bridges National Monument.

After about a mile and a half in, we came upon a 700-year-old granary called House on Fire. Aptly named for its colorful, streaked roof, this ruin displays a vibrant reddish-glow when sunlight penetrates its alcove. As we hiked deeper into Mule canyon, we checked out more alcove ruins, a collapsed kiva and cliff ruins that likely housed many families – like an ancient apartment building. After several more hours of bushwhacking, we came upon a very large and steep roadblock - the end of the road - where we climbed out of the canyon and were rewarded with extraordinary views of Cedar Mesa. A nice start to the #mypubliclandsroadtrip in Utah!

Please remember – Ancient puebloan ruins are important cultural sites that cannot be replaced. Always practice Leave No Trace, and do not add-to, remove, or deface any of the ruins.

This must surely be one of the most photographed views in Cape Town.This one dates from 1967.

This view of the NIH campus looks north past the Natcher Building (right) to the Stokes Labs (center) and beyond to the Clinical Center (upper left). Building 31, the "Claude D. Pepper Building," (upper right) provides office space for most Institute directors and their immediate staff.

This store caters for graffiti artists. We were surprised and didn't think you'd get away with that in London or New York.

This was just a lump of stone at Bolsover Castle which I thought looked like a face.... what do you think?

its not often i can pin down the best moment in a day

but today this was definately it

This was taken through a car window as we moved from South east Germany further north to Wernigerode. Amazing conditions.

This was taken by a fellow soldier, SPC Jason Eckert, a couple weeks ago. That's the temperature - the time in Afghanistan, however, is about 1152 A.D. .......

This scene is from our "walk-about" in Bogota, Columbia.

This was a couple of nights trip visiting a number of islands.

This shot was taken from Piazzale Michelangelo (Michelangelo Square).

This was whilst it was on display at the BTCC finals at Brands Hatch at the weekend.
